What to Do After Retirement?

Monday August 6, 2007
Retirement can be a time to do all the things you didn't have time to do when you were working. Many people choose to spend the years after retirement engaging in leisure activities, e.g. a daily round of golf, or traveling. For others it can be a time to explore a new career or to volunteer. Learn more about life after retirement.

Hi Dawn,

I linked my readers this morning to your Career Planning Blog so they can read your informative article about Life After Retirement.

I had just written a piece about planning for retirement but didn’t cover the increased time for leisure that retirement provides. The other great points you make will complement my shorter piece nicely

Regards,
Randy Place

My sister is 61 and has been a waitress for 30+ years. Her knees are quitting on her but she still needs a full time job with benefits. She barely has money to pay rent. I bought her a computer and has learned a huge amount very quickly. She loves it and there is real potential but she just can’t have a break in benefits. What can she do?
